Faculty
Associate Professor of Civil Engineering Dr. Ballestero's teaching interests include hydrology and water resources engineering, as exemplified by the following courses: Fluid Mechanics, Open Channel Flow, Engineering Hydrology, Design of Water Transmission Systems, Coastal Engineering, Groundwater Engineering, Hydrologic Monitoring (field course), River Mechanics, and Advanced Groundwater Topics.
Professor
of Civil Engineering Dr.Collins' primary research interests are water
filtration processes, physical-chemical treatment applications, water
chemistry, aquatic humic substances and natural organic matter, disinfection
by-product precursor characterization and treatability, technology adoption,
and pilot testing. He is the director of the New England
Water Treatment Technology Assistance Center at UNH.
Research Professor of Civil Engineering Dr. Eighmy has had research interests in element speciation, surface analysis, environmental chemistry of leaching behavior, residue characterization, use of recycled materials in highway applications, chemical stabilization, reactive barriers, innovative and alternative treatment technologies, and technovation. He is currently a Faculty Fellow for Strategic Program Development in the Office of the Vice President for Research and Public Service.
Research Associate Professor of Civil Engineering Dr. Gardner is a registered professional environmental engineer and an Associate Research Professor of Civil Engineering. He is the Director of the Environmental Research Group (ERG) at UNH, an applied environmental science and engineering research center comprised of seven sub-centers: the Recycled Materials Resource Center (RMRC), the Bedrock Bioremediation Center (BBC), the Water Treatment Technology Assistance Center (WTTAC), the UNH Contaminated Sediments Center, the UNH Stormwater Center, the Coastal Response Research Center, and the Electro-Technology Research Group. Dr. Gardner received his B.S. in Civil Engineering from Union College in 1989 and his M.S. and Ph.D. from Clarkson University in Environmental Engineering in 1992 and 1996, respectively. Before coming to UNH in 1999, Dr. Gardner was the George B. Mayer Assistant Professor of Civil Engineering at Case Western Reserve University. Dr. Gardner teaches courses related to aqueous chemistry, co-instructs the environmental engineering senior design project, and is developing a new course on contaminant fate and transport to be taught in Spring 2004 for the first time. He is also the Director of the UNH Contaminated Sediments Center and the advisor to the UNH Chapter of Engineers Without Borders. Dr. Gardner's research focus includes behavior of contaminants in sediment environments, remediation of contaminated sediments, beneficial use of contaminated dredged material, leaching of trace elements from recycled materials, and colloidal behavior and contaminant transport in the environment.
Associate Professor of Civil Engineering Dr. Jacobs' research emphasizes the characterization of spatiotemporal land-surface water dynamics (e.g., evapotranspiration and soil-water dynamics) through experimentation and modeling and the advancement of ecohydrology through interdisciplinary studies with collaborators having strengths in soils pedology, vegetation physiology, and ecology. She uses emerging technologies to enhance the understanding of distributed hydrological processes with a specific focus on surface energy flux estimation. This research addresses the knowledge gap regarding evaporative fluxes and the emphasis within engineering practice to improve the spatial and temporal representation of water cycling. Jacobs also pursues a parallel research effort in ecohydrology. This research combination, hydrological mechanisms essential to climate-soil-vegetation interactions, underlying ecosystem patterns and processes, and ecohydrology, positions her at the cutting edge of one of the "most exciting scientific frontiers". This research area is rapidly expanding with opportunities and funding, at scales ranging from local to global, to explore challenging and unanswered questions regarding ecosystems, biodiversity, and land change impacts.
Assistant Research Professor of Civil/Environmental Engineering Dr. Jambeck foined the ENE faculty in the fall of 2005. Her research interests include contaminant fate and transport related to waste beneficial use, chemical fate and biological processes within disposal systems, sustainable and innovative waste management practices, life-cycle approaches to waste management and in-situ treatment of contaminated sediments. She has worked on specific research projects involving construction and demolition debris, wallboard, chromated copper arsenate (CCA)-treated wood, abrasive blasting media, coal combustion residues, mining waste and bioreactor landfills. She is a member of AEESP, AWMA and SWANA Waste Reduction, Recycling and Composting technical division.
Professor of Civil Engineering Dr. Kinner's main areas of research interest are bioremediation of contaminated subsurface environments and more generally, environmental microbiology. She has conducted research on wastewater biofilm microbiology, the role of protists in subsurface contaminant degradation, and cold temperature bioremediation. Dr. Kinner directs the Bedrock Bioremediation Center at UNH.
Professor of Civil Engineering Dr. Malley's research interests
include aquatic and surface chemistry, oxidation processes (UV, ozone,
UV-peroxide), innovative technologies, dissolved air flotation, activated
carbon, pilot testing, and technology adoption.
